  June 8, 2018 - MY FIRST REVIEW. Deep red with a serious amber edge. Cork a bit mushy, came out in pieces. No real bouquet... very rich licorice, full bodied yet smooth...slight oak mellow..slow fruit...great finish... took an hour to open fully. Sediment heavy. Enjoyable

  July 4, 2014 - Strong aromas matching the dark red color. Opened throughout our dinner, benefitting from over 90 minutes decanting.

  May 31, 2014 - Drank it 2014. I had this after very powerful fruity supertuscan wine, which is "modern style" easy to drink for anyone, but lacks the complexity and finesse of classic old world wine. Then we opened this lafite rothschild 1977, and the nose was mind blowing. This is how I think wine should be. Very dark and textured. Tickling the top of your head. Then a sip. The same coarse texture and black berries broken down so it is not just fruit punch. And the finish linger. Afterward we had a famous amarone that tasted like sodapops in comparison. Great wine. But the price is hilarious of course. You can find great wine at $50-100.
